In 2016, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the coastal area of Ecuador, killing more than 650 people, leaving more than 16,000 injured and thousands without a home. At least 150,000 children were affected. SOS Children's Villages is on the ground now assessing the damage and mobilizing their staff to support the people affected, especially children. Here by the end of 2016 SOS Children's Villages is now ready to raise additionally funds for all the families affected by the earthquake. In December I traveled to the affected areas to create content for a new fundraising campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How long do they last?
4-6 weeks from the time you get them. They last longer if refrigerated, and you can freeze the chocolates quite well also. If you do freeze them, give them 24 hours in the refrigerator to "condition" and keep their shine.
Can I ship them?
Yes! We ship chocolates all over the continental United States with great success. During our last holiday season, we successfully shipped to 29 different states.
What are the colors?
The colors that we use to hand paint each chocolate with are made from cocoa butters, with fat-soluble food color added. The cocoa butter is tempered in the same method as tempering chocolate.
Do you use dark, milk or white chocolate?
For the shells, we use only dark chocolate, usually between 58-66%. Milk chocolate is used only for our ganaches and fillings, and white chocolate is only implemented into the wedding cake chocolate.
How can I tell what the flavors are?
We have a flavor profile located here on our site. Here, we detail the complexity of colors that make it challenging for us to pick out; therefore, we base our flavors on the shape of the chocolates. For example, every time you find a round, hemisphere, it will have our signature Hazelnut Praline in it, regardless of color. Likewise, the Dark Chocolate Ganache will be in any heart shaped chocolate.


text: Architecturally similar to other housing projecs such as Corviale, Laurentino 38 and Ponti dell'Eur, Torrevecchia's Bronx is a huge conglomeration of ferroconcrete that arose during the 80s in Rome's northwest outskirts. Walking through its lots and walkways you have the impression to be in a village where everybody know each other, likings and dislikes are handed down from father to son and your neighbor is not a stranger, but the one with whom you often share chitchats and seasonings. The sole centres of attraction are a bar opened few years ago and a very lively community center for the elderly people. Just like the sober and modular architecture hosting them, the inhabitants of the Bronx seem to live a repetitive and colourless life, as if to suggest that the surrounding place wields a gray tyranny over them. Actually this "concrete hegemony" is not so clear and to define who suffers who, and to what extent, you need to get in touch with the life enlivening the bowels of Torrevecchia's Bronx. The body language, the business and even the clothing of its inhabitants express a constant analogy with the environment around them and the other way round. In this sense there's not a tyrant or a slave, but two symbiotic entities influencing each other and creating an incredible variety of characters and situations. The enquiry about the mimesis between environment and people is the target of this report. It is even more highlighted in the elderly people living in this quarter, who are its memory and who have actively absorbed and transformed it more than anyone else over the years.

Internal hemorrhoids: The most suffering and excruciating pain. Those who have this type will have to undergo operation and must use some medicine. This is the most suffering cause of the causes I have been mentioning.
Grade 1 stage: Here piles won't show up outside. You will not feel pain too. But you will get blood falling with shit while you go for motion.
Grade 2 stage: Here blood may or may not fall. But piles come out while you sit and go inside all by themselves.

Reduce heavy traveling: Do not travel much sitting and struggling.
Over time jobs: Do not sit and do overtime jobs to meet targets. Surely this will damage your health overall and allow piles to creep in.
Reduce stress: Live a peaceful life and reduce stressful living. This will show impact on the organs of your body. And digestion is not another thing.
Eat timely food: Eat in time. Do not skip your dinner for funny reasons.
Foods that cure Piles or hemorrhoids remedies
Take enough water and do not eat spicy food. Take coconut water an eat fiber rich vegetables. While you sit make sure it is spongy. Do not sit on flat benches.

Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is a prescription drug which acts as a blood thinner or anticoagulant. It is usually prescribed to help prevent stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Manufactured by Bayer and marketed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals (owned by Johnson & Johnson), it is taken by millions of patients. It generates more than $1 billion dollars a year in sales. But there is a major problem. Unlike the drug it is marketed to replace (warfarin), Xarelto is dangerous because no antidote exists to reverse its blood-thinning effects. As a result, many patients have been injured when they experience serious bleeding, including potentially fatal internal and gastrointestinal hemorrhaging.
Thousands of lawsuits have already been filed seeking compensation for these injuries.
If you or a loved one have experienced a severe bleeding event, pulmonary embolism, stroke or death after taking Xarelto, you should immediately seek legal advice. You can contact us for a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation, and we will help you analyze your options.
The Law Office of Edward Scher, PLC and co-counsel are accepting these cases nationally.

There are many reasons to take on a home improvement project. Maybe you just want a more updated space, or more modern conveniences. Perhaps it's more of a necessity because something has broken or is no longer functioning as it should. Or, maybe you want to make improvements to your home in order to add to its value.
Replacing your windows is one of those projects that could very well fall into all three categories. New windows can update a space and provide a home with the benefits that come along with modern energy saving technology. They can also replace windows that are difficult to operate, or that no longer open, close, or lock. Finally, they can add value to a home, giving San Diego homeowners a higher sale price when the time comes to sell.
To reinforce our opinion that replacement windows are an excellent investment for San Diego homeowners, we spoke with several home experts about their thoughts on replacement windows. Here's what they had to say:
Replacing Your Windows to Appeal to Home Buyers in San Diego
Melissa Tucci, a top San Diego realtor, told us, "New, dual pane, energy-efficient windows make a big difference when selling a home because they create more of a high-end feel and aesthetically look nicer. At the same time, buyers know they will benefit from not having to use the air conditioner or heater as much, since the windows help keep the home better insulated."
A study by the National Association of Realtors backs up Melissa's opinion, concluding that replacing your windows is one of the most beneficial things you can do to the exterior of your home to appeal to buyers. The same study also reports that homeowners can expect to recoup approximately 80% of the total cost of replacement windows when they sell their home, making them a great financial investment!
Replacing Your Windows to Increase Curb Appeal
Residential architect Mark Grisafe of M. Grisafe Architects touts the benefits of replacement windows from his perspective. He says, "Whenever we do a remodel, we try to steer our clients toward design solutions that are going to either add value to their home in a seller's market or help their home stand out in a buyer's market. Upgraded windows is definitely one component that achieves both."
He also says that replacing windows is an effective and relatively inexpensive way to change the look of a home. Mark has recommended, for example, that homeowners replace their old aluminum windows with upgraded vinyl windows to give a home a more crafted feel.
Replacing Your Windows to Save on Energy Costs
According to Tim Carstairs, a building energy engineer at Carstairs Energy, "Replacing single pane windows with dual pane can save a lot on heating and cooling costs due to better insulative properties and reduced solar heat gain. Depending on the climate zone, [the savings] could be major."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) backs up this claim. ENERGY STAR, a program of the EPA that sets energy efficiency standards for products like replacement windows, estimates that a typical homeowner can save between $126 and $465 per year by replacing single pane windows with dual pane windows.
Replacing Your Windows to Better Enjoy Your San Diego Home
Michal Bohm, owner of BM Windows in San Diego, agrees with all of the points made above, but has another one to add. He says, "There are so many great reasons to replace your windows. You can save energy by not having to run your air conditioner as much in the summer or your heater in the winter. You can increase the value of your home and its curb appeal. But you can't discount the intangible benefits as well—how new windows can brighten up a home, or how having windows that open and close with ease can help you enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather. You can't put a number on those benefits and others like them. Many of our San Diego replacement window customers tell us how they wish they would have replaced their windows much sooner, because it just makes such a difference in the way their home feels."
"At BM Windows, we want every homeowner in San Diego to experience that feeling," Michal continued. "We also want them to understand all of the benefits—including the financial benefits—that come along with replacement windows, which is why we recently published an e-book titled Investing in Your Home: Replacement Windows and Doors. We truly believe that replacement windows are an investment that every San Diego homeowner should consider making."

Configure Multibutton Mice
Seven buttons, a tilt/scroll wheel, and who knows what else? Find out how to put all those bells and whistles to good use.
Gamers love mice with more buttons than the Space Shuttle because the extra buttons can be mapped to provide quick access to common functions, but getting them working under Linux can be a bit tricky.
Open the Xorg configuration file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a text editor (for example, using the command sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and look for a stanza labelled InputDevice. If your computer is a laptop with a touchpad, it may have several InputDevice enTRies, so make sure you find the one that refers to your mouse. If it was configured automatically by Xorg, it will probably look something like this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection
Start by changing the Protocol value. The ExplorerPS/2 driver supports more devices than the older ImPS/2 driver, so substitute this line:
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Since your multibutton mouse almost certainly has a middle button, you don't need the Emulate3Buttons option anymore, so delete it.
Unfortunately, there is no way for your computer to automatically determine the number of buttons available on a mouse, so you need to add an option that explicitly tells Xorg how many it has. It's obvious that you need to count all the actual physical buttons on the mouse, but remember that you usually need to add three more: one for clicking the scroll wheel, one for scroll-up, and one for scroll-down. A typical scroll mouse with two main buttons on the top, two on the side, and a scroll wheel actually has seven buttons as far as the driver is concerned, so add a line like this:
Option "Buttons" "7"
Next, map the action of the scroll wheel to virtual buttons using the ZAxisMapping option. In the case of a simple scroll wheel that moves only up or down, you can assign two values, which are associated with negative (down) and positive (up) motion, respectively:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Some mice have a scroll wheel that also rocks from side to side, and some even have two scroll wheels, in which case you can add mappings for negative and positive motion in the second axis:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Unfortunately, you may find the second scroll direction isn't recognized by Xorg at all because there is currently no standard for defining how mice should encode horizontal scroll data when it's transmitted to the driver. Even if it is recognized, you may find the rocker or second scroll wheel moves in the opposite direction to what you expect, so you may need to reverse the third and fourth values.
Some browsers such as Firefox are hardcoded to use buttons 4 and 5 as shortcuts for "back" and "forward," but because some wheel mice report wheel-up and wheel-down as the fourth and fifth button events, respectively, you may need to do some extra work to use the side buttons as back and forward. You can remap the reported button events by calling xmodmap:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
xmodmap command will need to be run each time you log in to GNOME, so go to SystemSessions
One final option you can configure is mouse resolution. Many multibutton gaming mice run at very high resolutions to enable accurate targeting, but you may find that it throws off Xorg's response curve. In that case, it may help to add a Resolution option in dpi (dots per inch):
Option "Resolution" "2400"
Once you have made all of these changes, your mouse configuration will look something like this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
To apply changes, you need to restart Xorg. The easiest way to do so is to log out of your current session and then press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, which will kill Xorg and force GDM to restart it (if GDM doesn't restart it, log in at the console and run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart).
Log back in and launch xev, the X EVent reporter, and click each button and scroll the scroll wheel in both directions. Each event will cause a button number to be reported in the terminal. If everything went as planned, each button will report a different button number.

And as he has said before, ignorance is truly bliss (even the truth is relative). Most of the time, recompiling an entire 600 line file under the Lucid development compiler on a Sparcstation I+ will be faster then recompiling a single function on a 3640 with m-sh-C. Jeff That's pretty interesting. Is there someone out there who could tell me how fast an XL1200 is vs. a Sun 2? :) Pretty funny. You are missing my point however. It is very unlikely that many people will buy XL1200s. As much as I would like one, MIT will not buy a >$45K machine (XL1200) I have been surprised by the success of the XL1200 so far. Last month, the first month of availability, we sold over half as many XL1200s as we sold XL400s over that product's entire lifetime! Even your AI Lab bought a couple. I expect we will sell more there as time goes by. that performs about the same as an <$10K machine (SparcStation I+). I will strengthen my claim: Most of the time, recompiling an entire 600 line file under the Lucid development compiler on a Sparcstation I+ will be faster then recompiling a single function on an XL1200 with m-sh-C! I apologize for my joke. I agree that the Symbolics compiler is probably slower than the Lucid compiler, but your statement above sounds suspiciously like a "flame". Have you had the opportunity to get much time on MIT's non-existent XL1200's in order to extensively test your assertion? Yes, it is true that the development environment on Symbolics is better than on a Sun but the gap is closing. While Genera 8.0 is an improvement over System 98.0, everybody else is also improving, and at a rate faster than Symbolics. Though they are not yet there, they are quickly catching up. In 1982 the claim that the Symbolics development environment was light years ahead of the competition was truly valid. It isn't so any more. What the m-sh-C example shows is that sometimes raw speed more than makes up for lack of a fancy feature. IMHO there is a lot of latent speed left in Symbolics machines, both the XL1200 and even the lowly 3640---if only a decent compiler was written for it. Two months ago I would never have thought of giving up my Symbolics machine. I was a staunch defender of it. But two months of hacking Lucid on SparcStation I+ has made me think twice. Speed may not be the only thing but it sure is an important factor. Price/Performance is another. You can't live on your laurels forever. Jeff The XL1200 has been successfully benchmarked (by both Symbolics and users) against the SPARC/1, the 4/330 (a $40K+ system), and 4/370 (a $50K+ system), and I am happy to report that we handily beat all of those systems in most cases, including execution of the "not-a-benchmark" that you yourself published a few months ago, and which were run recently by Jeff Siskind of Xerox PARC. While it is true that Lucid (but not Franz) on these systems sometimes compiles faster using their development setting, it is not nearly as much as you suggest, and the XL1200 makes up for it with a substantial advantage in execution speed. Editor's Note: I realized while driving home last night that I had confused Jeff (the "not-a-benchmark"'s author) with Mark Shirley of Xerox PARC, who ran the tests on the XL1200. That was as bad a mistake as mixing up a 3640 and an XL1200! Now, if it turns out that Mark is three years older than Jeff and runs six times slower, my face will really be red!!!

For fans of rugby and soccer, today is a great day. With not one but two finals on the line today, the worse part of the day is deciding which final to watch. Luckily for fans of both European Club Rugby and the UEFA, they should be able to watch both matches. With the Heineken Cup Rugby final starting almost three hours before the Champions League final, the entire afternoon and evening can be devoted to watching sports.
The Heineken Cup rugby final is being held in France and is being fought out between two French teams. Toulou SE is going against Biarritz who have only been seen in 2 showcase matches in their history, with their latest being a sound defeat in 2006. Toulouse on the other hand is in its sixth Heineken Cup final, being a record for any club in the league. Launches of flying lanterns are a great way to show support for either team or simply to celebrate the sport of rugby in general. These Chinese Hanging Lanterns have long burning fuel cells. With the right winds, they could even make it to France! Our eco lanterns will guarantee that the lanterns do no harm wherever they land and are an inexpensive way to send your wishes for a team's victory for the game aloft into the sky.
If you intend to watch both games, a quick break after the rugby match is a great time to let everyone know that you are watching football next. While UEFA has a fancy ball for the final, they can't match a Chinese lantern floating in the sky in the design of a football. Available here: http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/novelty-sky-lanterns/football-sky-lanterns/prod_26.html, these floating lanterns stand almost a full metre tall, are available in three different colour combinations and are visible for miles, day or night.
The football match itself is being held in Madrid Spain and looks to be an excellent match. Germany's FC Bayern Munchen will be playing it out against FC Internazionale Milano in what is expected to be one of the best games in years. The coaches have history, with Bayern's coach formerly overseeing Milano's coach while he was the coach of Barcelona's team in 1997 through 2000. Each of these coaches have won this tournament as well so they know how to prepare teams for this game. Furthermore, this is not the first time these teams have met; they have played against each other five times previously with the current outcome of 2 wins each and a draw.
Regardless of the team you choose to support, launching lanterns after the game is over is a great way to celebrate a victory or help ignore the defeat of your preferred team. As an alternative to launching Chinese Hanging Lanterns into the sky, sending them across the water is another option Nightskylanterns.co.uk offers. Water lanterns are available on our site as well and use similar fire-resistant paper as our Chinese lanterns. These lanterns can be written on and sent out into any body of water, from a pond or swimming pool to a lake or even the ocean. With the included tea light they are visible at night with the message written being visible as well. On a smooth body of water , they will float well after the tea light burns out.

FULLNESS :: Two Perspectives
Damini Celebre:
Most of us know the symbol that represents
YinYang. This Taoist symbol represents the
constant shifting of light to dark, of full to empty -
the ebb and flow of life. For example, when we get
too dense, we will naturally start to shift towards
lightness. When we get too full, we can burst or
choose to let go of stuff.
The word Fullness implies that there is a natural
ebb and flow between having what you need — not
too much, not too little — and getting to just the
right amount. Fullness reflects the ease of
We each define the balance of Fullness in a variety
of ways: Having good friends, a full pantry, all the
music you want, a new car, a house, lots of
wonderful stuff, lots of empty space, taking a walk,
having quiet time, and having a full heart.
How can you invite balanced Fullness in your life?
Exercise: 6 steps for feeling your heart's Fullness
1. Breathe deeply: As you breathe in, allow your
body to relax and soften.
2. Remember a time in your life that was
glorious. Remember the moments that brought you
3. Allow your mouth to turn into an ever-soslight
smile as you remember that moment or those
moments of joy.
4. Notice how all parts of your body feel as you
allow that joyful feeling to fill you.
5. Breathe.
6. When you allow the Fullness of joy to fill your
Body-Mind-Heart, you raise your energy, vibration
and frequency, which allows you to be Shiny-er. In
turn, you will share this gift of Fullness and joy with
folks you meet on your way.
Exercise: Balancing the emptiness
Sometimes we accumulate things because we
are missing something vital in our life. The
gathering and addiction to get stuff (big or small)
is filling an emptiness inside us.
Finding out what triggers our feelings of
emptiness cannot be fixed in a short series of
steps or an action list. Here's how I try to shift
my behavior when I find myself acting out the
symptoms of feeling empty.
Whenever I reach for a bag of chips, or find
myself Internet shopping, or just plain wanting
(another person - more stuff - a new home, etc.),
I have learned to take a moment, recognize that
I am touching an empty place inside me, and
Then I bring my attention to what is around me
right here and now that gives me pleasure: a
bird song, books on my coffee table, a card from
a friend, my feet on the Earth, or a memory that
brought me simple joy.
As I breathe, I allow that moment of joyful
pleasure to fill my heart, my body, and my mind. I
hold that feeling for as long as I can. I give a
silent Thank You to The-Powers-That-Be for
those gifts - and then I go on with my day.
Sometimes I put the chips down, and sometimes
I eat them. The point isn't to stop the pattern
right away; its about recognizing how to balance
the emptiness with Fullness.
Anna Marie Noble:
Fullness can mean a variety of things. There's
the sensation of fullness after Thanksgiving dinner.
There's the Fullness that Damini describes, from her
Eastern healing traditions: "The word Fullness
implies that there is a natural ebb and flow between
having what you need — not too much, not too little
— and getting to just the right amount. Fullness
reflects the ease of receiving."
When we are in pain, we often experience a
pessimistic viewpoint that's similar to a feeling of
emptiness, that seems to be threaded into and
entangled within the very tapestry of our pain. The
old saying, "the glass is half empty" perfectly
captures this sense that we are lacking something -
the energy, or the knowledge, or the willpower - to
effectively resolve our pain.
Understanding what triggers our pain, and
learning steps to relieve our pain, can help us move
back to the sense of being more fully ourselves. So,
too, can the awareness that healing almost always
ebbs and flows in a pattern that looks like a few
steps forward, then one step back. It rarely looks
like a magic snap of our fingers and *Poof!* we are
Ultimately, as we begin our quest for pain relief,
we learn about ourselves - our resilience, our
coping skills, our character, our sense of humor. We
begin to feel more alive than before we began our
Healing Journey. In other words, we return to the
Fullness of our lives when we have travelled along
our personal Healing Journey, and have begun to
overcome our pain.
Living fully can shift your viewpoint on life and
may even shift the way you see that proverbial
glass: half-empty or half-full.
Today, invite yourself to begin taking the first small
steps to Conquer Your Pain! Ride the wave of
Fullness that happens when you start taking action
to transform your pain - and get back to being
more fully You.

Got a great idea for a domain name for your UUA project, committee, or whatever? Ready to register it yourself? Wait a minute! Problems can arise with ownership, renewals, UUA policy, and searchability.
Got Search?
If you use a domain name other than UUA.org, when people search for a word or phrase using the search box in the upper right corner of every UUA.org page, your material won't appear. (Google's site search is limited to three domain names, and we've chosen uua.org, uuworld.org, and uuabookstore.org.)
Searching isn't an issue if you are using a domain name as an additional way to get to UUA.org pages. For example UUCEF.org redirects to UUA.org/uucef, so those pages are included in UUA.org search results.
An alternative is to request a UUA.org subdomain, like tapestryoffaith.uua.org or ethicaleating.uua.org. These subdomains are all included in the UUA.org site search.
UUA Policy
UUA policy requires that UUA staff consult with the ITS Web Team (at web @ uua.org) before registering domain names. It won't take long.
Dealing with Domain Registrars
You register a domain name with a domain registrar, and there are hundreds of them. Disreputable registrars send domain owners fake bills that actually hijack your original registration to switch to them, usually at a much higher cost. Even checking the availability of a domain name can be dangerous — a few nasty registrars will register the name you want on the spot, with themselves as owners, so that you have to pay them extra to get it.
The ITS staff group needs to keep track of the domain names the UUA owns so that we can update them when we upgrade servers, and move them to different registrars on occasion. The best system is for all our domains to be owned by one account at one registrar.
The Answer: Talk to ITS!
If you want to register a domain name, talk to the ITS Web Team (at web @ uua.org). We'll check the availability and usability of the name, and then Scott Thomson, our intrepid network guy, can register it and point it at your website.

Gina Rodriguez Gives Amazing Speech at Kennedy Center Honors 2015 (Video)
Gina Rodriguez has made us cry with several of her previous speeches and now she has done it again with her speech at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors.
The 31-year-old Jane the Virgin actress opens the show by paying tribute to Rita Moreno, who plays her grandmother on the hit CW series. She talks about how she was introduced to the legendary actress by her mother when she asked why no one looks like her on television.
"I met you on screen and I just loved you," Gina said. "Your bright smile, your fierce persona, that independent voice that burst through every performance and every interview. I just wanted to be just like Rita."
"You gave me hope, you gave me a reason to fight and to speak up you gave me a voice and how can I thank you? I'm not sure how but I can tell you this: when you followed your dreams Rita, you gave me the allowance to follow mine," she added. "You are my icon, my living legend and what matters most is my friend. Rita this is my love letter to you."

The GSO-2.7 Factory 2nds have minor cosmetic blemishes and are sold for a 10% discount. They have been through the same processes and are just as tough as the regular GSO-2.7 model, they just aren't quite as pretty.
The SURVIVE! GSO-2.7 is a new addition to the SURVIVE! line up. Even smaller than the GSO-3.5, the GSO-2.7 was designed for those who enjoy a very lightweight and compact blade. This design is ideally suited for users with smaller hands but the handle is still long enough to enjoy a full "four finger" grip with even a medium sized hand. The GSO-2.7 features a skeletonized tang under its handles. Whether you need a compact fixed blade for your B.O.B. set up or just need something more robust than a folder, consider the GSO-2.7 for your next adventure.
Our high quality Torx T-25 style fasteners are precision machined from 416 stainless steel. Key features of the kydex sheaths include: excellent retention, drain channels, and several attachment options with slots and eyelets, in addition to the kydex clip. The peened finish on the blade provides extra durability and is non-reflective. The spine is sharp enough for use with most ferro rods.
- You are not required to purchase a kydex sheath with your order but it is HIGHLY recommended that you do so.
- We do not have a set delivery date for preordered knives, be sure to sign up for our newsletter to receive regular production updates.
A bit about the steel used in SURVIVE! Knives:
CPM-20CV is a very high quality martensitic stainless steel, with outstanding corrosion resistance and excellent edge holding. CPM-20CV does lack the impact toughness of CPM-3V but being made with the CPM process, this steel is still very resistant to lateral stress (flex) breakage. Consider CPM-20CV for a very low maintenance, all weather cutting tool. Here is the CPM-20CV Data Sheet.

The Handheld Office is for any business owner who is on the go, wants their small business to look and act like a big business, and absolutely, positively can't miss a single call.
Englewood, Colo. (Vocus) October 27, 2009
IP5280 Communications, specializing in business VoIP and data communications delivered via state-of-the-art unified Internet Protocol (IP) technologies, announced today the debut of the "HandHeld Office," an industry-first telecommunications service that gives a big-business storefront to the small business operating substantially through mobile phone devices.
The new HandHeld Office is directed toward small businesses that don't want or need a full-blown office telephone system, but would like all of the full-service functionality and "big business" appearance that a carrier-class business telephone service delivers. IP5280's new service is designed to serve businesses of one to ten people through their existing mobile telephones and devices, all at a price the new or established small business owner can easily afford: HandHeld Office solutions start at just $99 a month, with an additional $99 set-up fee.
"With HandHeld Office, small businesses utilize their mobile phone number as their primary office number, either because they have no physical office location or because their business is conducted 'on the go' at client locations, in transit or on job sites," said Jamie Minner, IP5280 Communications Vice President of Sales and Operations. "This growing mobile trend may be viewed by some as a negative, potentially signalling that the business lacks the resources necessary to meet their needs. Our new HandHeld Office gives the small business an affordable suite of big-business functionality that is at once impressive for callers and more productive for the business."
IP5280's HandHeld Office provides a professional front to the mobile-based small business, first by establishing a properly listed business telephone number in the local directory systems across the U.S. This number, when dialed, automatically routes a caller through the HandHeld Office to an Auto Attendant greeting that provides the initial impression for a virtual "front door" to the small business.
The Handheld Office Auto Attendant offers up to 12 routing options that may, for example, direct the caller to "dial 1 for sales, dial 2 for service, dial 3 for questions about your bill," etc., and routing the caller to designated mobile numbers. Users of the HandHeld Office also have the option to direct callers to private voicemail boxes, included in the service. Further, the HandHeld Office can be directed to send voicemail messages as an audio "wave" file to the email box of any individual user or to a group email address for team handling.
"By using IP5280's HandHeld Office, we're able to give our two person boutique agency the look and feel of a 20 person agency," said Andreas Neumann, co-founder and vice president of California-based Design Advocate, Inc., a visual marketing and consulting firm. "Plus, any incoming call rings both of us at the same time, so we no longer have to worry about missing a call from a prospect or customer again."
Small businesses selecting the Premium-level HandHeld Office option, starting at $125 per month, receive the added functionality of both Simultaneous Ring and call Hunt Groups, both features to maximize the potential that the call will be answered live. Simultaneous Ring places an incoming call to multiple mobile phones or call destinations at once, directing the call to the first phone to answer; in Hunt Groups, unanswered incoming calls are automatically rolled over to a pre-designated priority list of other mobile or direct telephone numbers in the system.
"More than half of the nearly 30 million small businesses in the U.S. are home-based businesses with a large percentage operated off of a mobile device," said Jeff Pelletier, Chief Technology Officer of IP5280 Communications. "The Handheld Office is for any business owner who is on the go, wants their small business to look and act like a big business, and absolutely, positively can't miss a single call."
"The HandHeld Office is a perfect innovation for a new business that is just getting started, or the small business that is looking to expand," Pelletier added.
In addition to affordable small business telecommunications, IP5280 Communications HandHeld Office service offers a number of value-added options for the new or expanding business, including Voice-to-Text service which transcribes voicemail to a text email, email and website hosting, and entry-level website creation.
"With the complete array of HandHeld Office features and options, we can literally have a new business up and running in 48 hours with a professional business telephone service, a basic website and business email accounts," noted VP of Sales and Operations Minner. "And then, when the small business grows into an office environment, IP5280 Communications can set up a full carrier-class business telephone system for about half the cost of traditional phone companies."

First things first, Books. The War Service of Sherlock Holmes, published by The Baker Street Irregulars. I have a chapter on Tokay in the book. Here is a link where people can purchase it, if they so desire.
January 6th is the designated birthday of Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Every year there are celebrations in New York City and in London. I have been to these dinners many times. This year, I just could not face the weather in New York. I do not own snow boots or a decent winter coat. Nor do I own anything made with "camping in the Arctic" padded insulation. I regret not being able to attend as I miss the camaraderie.
The only organizations I have ever willingly joined are the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes (ASH) and the Baker Street Irregulars (BSI).
Here is a photo taken a few decades ago: from left to right: top row: Mickey Fromkin, Susan Dahlinger, Evelyn Herzog, me. bottom row: Roberta Pearson, Susan Rice, Sara Montegue, M.E. Rich.
The following is an edited excerpt from my contribution to "Sherlock Holmes Fandom, Sherlockiana, and the Great Game," edited by Betsy Rosenblatt and Roberta Pearson, Transformative Works and Cultures, no. 23. http://dx.doi.org/10.3983/twc.2017.0888.
When I moved to New York City in late 1977 to manage The Mysterious Bookshop—a job I was offered because I have always been a voracious reader of mystery novels—I was fortunate enough to immediately fall in with the Adventuresses, and I began attending their monthly get-togethers (ASH Wednesdays) in 1978.
What a magnificent group we were! I look back on those days fondly. We Adventuresses loved books, we loved to laugh, we knew how to have a good (and occasionally riotous) time. We were free to be who we really were—women with agile minds and a knack for mischief. Perhaps even more than an appreciation of the Holmes stories themselves, it was the camaraderie and the feeling of having found a home that drew me to ASH.
I was staying at the apartment of Mickey Fromkin and Susan Rice, two fabulous ASH, on the eve of my first trip to France in 1982. It was to be one of my free-wheeling rambles around Europe in search of some as yet undefined je ne sais quoi. That year, serendipity led me to picking grapes in Champagne and living for a time in Paris, and this in turn led me to my entry into the wine trade.
That late summer evening in Mickey and Susan's book-filled front room, Evelyn Herzog, ASH's Principal Unprincipled Adventuress and founding-mother of the organization, told me that I could not set out to live the life of an Adventuress without becoming one officially. She invited me to join ASH and gave me the investiture name of Mlle. Vernet, the name of Sherlock Holmes' maternal grand-mère. It is a name with which I am very proud to be associated. The fading yellowed certificate that commemorates this event hangs in my office as I type this.
In 2006, in a hotel room at the Algonquin on a sunny morning after the Big January Dinner, I called a little meeting of some of my favorite ASH and proposed a idea, one conceived because I was lonely for Sherlockian companionship. I asked them and some clever Boys to write essays for a book called Ladies, Ladies: The Women in the Life of Sherlock Holmes. I did this not so much to amplify the place of women in the Holmes stories (although it does this handily), but rather to have a reason to be in weekly contact with some of my closest friends. The book is lovely. It is chock-full of information. But for me, it is a document attesting to long-time friendship.
In 2010, thanks to the lobbying of Venerable Ash and Old Boys from my New York youth, I was invited to join the Baker Street Irregulars, with the investiture of Imperial Tokay. This is a reference to a fine wine with startling medicinal properties, which is mentioned in The Sign of Four and His Last Bow. The investiture name is, of course, a reference to my career in the wine trade. I am grateful for this honor: the BSI parchment shares wall space with my ASH certificate.
I went back to New York for the first time after many years in Europe in the mid-2000s to attend a BSI dinner, I was assailed by a covey of young women. One of them looked at me reverently, her eyes wide with wonder, and said: "You're one of the old ASH." Over the rest of the weekend, I found myself saddled with that label. It was disconcerting, because I knew that—in her heart, mind, and soul—an ASH never grows old.

This is a very adult cookie. At least that's what you'll want to tell them.
Lush and buttery, a little smoky coffee, some bittersweet chocolate...the good news is that you'll be satisfied with just one. Maybe.
espresso + chocolate chip shortbread
slightly adapted from the Smitten Kitchen
Makes 20 cookies
1 shot of small world or your favorite espresso (about 2 1/2 T)
16 oz butter at room temp
2/3 c confectioners' sugar
3/4 t vanilla
2 c flour
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped or bittersweet chocolate chips
1-2 pinches of smoked sea salt or regular sea salt
Pre-heat the oven to 325º
In a mixer with a paddle attachment (we are avoiding adding too much air for an even denser cookie) beat the butter and sugar for a few minutes until smooth and pale. Add the vanilla and espresso and then the flour, mixing until incorporated. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
Transfer the (very sticky) dough to a sheet of plastic wrap (I used Glad Press and Seal), cover with another sheet and roll out the dough between the sheets until it is about 9" x 10" x 1/4". (Smitten Kitchen used a gallon zip lock bag for the process but I didn't have one.) Fold the edges over to make sure you have a tight seal. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days (SK says...I used mine in 24 hours)
Cut into 20 cookies and prick each cookie twice with a fork, pushing the tines through the dough until they hit the cutting board. Arrange on parchment-lined cookie sheet or on a silpat.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes. There won't be a ton of color but you will be able to tell by the edges when they are done.
Oh, and let them cool before you take a bite. All that butter will have your tongue sizzling.

We're big fans of getting the kids involved in growing their own food here at Meals Our Kids Love! Research shows that children eat more fruit and vegetables if they're actively involved in growing their own, whether it's tomatoes, peas or lettuce.
So I couldn't resist picking up these little gems at my local supermarket this week. Waitrose has extended its Woodland Friends range to these grow-your-own-pots. Perfect as Easter gifts, you can choose from miniature strawberries, cherry tomatoes or sunflowers. There's a little adventure featuring Whizzy the Bee pollinating your garden with each pot, as well as ideas for activities inside the sleeve like making a garden label.
Ours are currently sitting on the kitchen windowsill waiting for the weekend; my daughter is hopping in impatient anticipation for when we open them and plant the seeds. She has her eye on the strawberries of course, but I'm hoping that growing her own tomatoes will encourage her to give them a try too.
Each little pot costs £5, and has everything you need to start growing. The instructions look easy enough – you sprinkle the seeds over the soil, cover with more soil, add water and place in a sunny position until the first shoots appear. You then transfer to a sunny spot in the garden. That's where it might get tricky for us, having all kinds of wildlife in our garden who'd fancy a nice juicy strawberry or two, but I'll keep you posted on our progress – follow us on Instagram to see how we do.
We only review things we truly genuinely love or feel our readers would like to know about here at Meals Our Kids Love! We are never paid for our reviews nor do we receive any kind of incentive. From time to time we may be sent a free sample. If we choose to publish a review of a product we have received a free sample for, we will always let you know by stating this either at the top, bottom or within the post itself.

Brattleboro Boys and Girls Club: Vargas named 2018 Youth of the Year
The Boys and Girls Club, at 17 Flat St., has been participating in the Youth of the Year contest for 14 years. Five of their club members have gone on to become state Youth of the Year. This year, the three candidates — 17-year-old Zachary Buckley-Dunbar, 18-year-old Mitchell Flood, and Vargas — challenged the judges, who deliberated all day Thursday, Feb. 8, trying to decide who to choose.
This year, the panel consisted of Brattleboro Town Manager Peter Elwell, Torin Koester, the managing trustee of McKenzie Family Charitable Trust, and Connie Snow, the director of the Windham and Windsor Housing Trust. All three nominees are students at Brattleboro Union High School and are members of the Keystone Club (a community service club). All three also serve as mentors to younger club members and all three said they chose to participate in Youth of the Year as a way to get ahead.
Youth of the Year candidates are nominated by Boys and Girls Club staff and volunteers. "It's kids who participate in programs and activities and show themselves to be good role models," said Ricky Davidson, the executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Brattleboro, Thursday night.
Matthew Gordon-Macey was named The Boys and Girls Club of Brattleboro 2018 Jr. Youth of the Year. Gordon-Macey is in the seventh grade at Brattleboro Area Middle School. "A confident public speaker, Matthew credits The Club with helping him come out of his shell and feeling comfortable talking to all kinds of people," said Davidson.
In April, Gordon-Macey will accompany Vargas to Montpelier, get a tour of the capital, meet the governor, and watch as Vargas competes for the title of State of Vermont Youth of the Year. the winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship.
Once a member is nominated for Youth of the Year, they must write three essays, get letters of support, and have their grades reviewed by a panel of judges. Then they meet with the judges and give a speech about what they would do if they were Youth of the Year. As winner, Vargas received a $500 scholarship.
Vargas said when she joined the club she wanted to go somewhere where people wouldn't talk to her. She was quiet and was tired of being made to talk. The Boys and Girls Club helped her come out of her shell. She said she made good connections there. In fourth grade, Vargas found out that her mother was diagnosed with cancer and she'd only have one more year left with her. "No matter what I was going through the club has always been there for me," she said.
The Boys and Girls Club taught her a different way to deal with life, she said. "My vision for America's youth is that we can be there for each other and not tear each other down."
Vargas said she wanted to be able to enact change. She wants to speak for the voiceless. "Hate is learned not inherited," she said.
Derick Harnish, who was the 2017 Youth of the Year in Brattleboro and for the state of Vermont, said it took him four tries before he finally ended up winning.
"Hearing Youth of the Year is just awesome," he said on Thursday. "In the end, even though I didn't win being a part of it was a privilege."
Eventually, Harnish did win. He got to meet Governor Phil Scott at the state competition. Then he traveled to New York City for the regional competition. During his speech at the 2018 event, he reminded candidates that it was an honor just to be nominated.
"Every single candidate is extraordinary," said Harnish. "Every single one of these people is Youth of the Year to somebody."
Buckley-Dunbar said he participated in Youth of the Year for his family. He thought the scholarship money would help him go to college, and ease the burden on his family. He also thought it would look good on an application.
"It shows that I'm a hard worker," he said. He thinks he was nominated because of his eagerness to do more at the club. "I wanted to help clean the bathrooms and help mop or something," he said of when he first joined the club.
In his speech, Buckley-Dunbar revealed that he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder when he was 5 years old. He had to learn that, "To get to the fun stuff you have to get through the boring stuff first." Buckley-Dunbar's speech talked about his development of work ethic. His dream, he said, is to someday open up a food truck. He wants to call the food,"smile-bringing food."
Flood spoke about his relationship with the Boys and Girls Club. He loved it so much that he became a junior staff member. "At first my peers made fun of me for working at the club. They told me it wasn't a real job." For him it was, and it was a job that made him happy. Flood especially enjoys getting to work with younger members of Kids Club (a club for 5- to 10-year-olds). He also serves as Vice President of the Keystone Club and balances his club work, school and home responsibilities.
"I just wanted to make a difference within the Boys and Girls Club," Flood said. "This is my family. This is my extended family." Winning Youth of the Year, he said, will give him more reputation capital that he thinks will help him make a larger difference. "I've always worked hard for what I've wanted in life," he said. "Winning Youth of the Year will prove it was worth it."
Peter Case from WKVT, who always serves as the events MC, said he was floored every year by the youths. He complimented all three candidates and the work that Boys and Girls Club does.
"When you walk through that door you're molding yourself to be a better human being," he said.
"Danaysa is the perfect example of what a Youth of the Year should be, but she is also someone who is really going to make a positive impact on the world," said Davidson. "I believe all of our members have the potential to go somewhere and make a real difference, but I know Danaysa will make a real impact. I look forward to the day when I can say I knew her when ..."
The Vermont state winner will travel in the summer to New York City for the Northeast Region Youth of the Year and the chance for an additional $10,000 scholarship. The
five regional winners advance to Washington, D.C., in September to compete for the title of BGCA's National Youth of the Year. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $15,000 college scholarship and is installed by the President in an Oval Office ceremony.
